And these are the Days of Our Lives...
Our story starts, like many others often do, at the beginning. In 1652, the young and beautiful Lady Iron Morgan Rackham, fleeing from the beginning of the first Anglo-Dutch War, left her Dutch homeland. With her she bundled up enough bread to last sixty-four hours; three tulips fresh from her garden beneath her kitchen sill; and her five daughters: Dirty Prudentilla Rackham, Calico Jenney Rackham, Calico Anne Rackham, Dirty Anne Rackham, and Black Morgan Rackham.
Arriving in the Kingdom of Great Briton the family took up refuge in a downtrodden barn that had seen better days. Although the wind whipping through the eaves kept them up at night the family felt safe in the hallow timbers. Twins, Calico Jenney and Calico Anne, both remarked that the strange, and seemingly disheveled countrymen of the land, looked simply scrumptious in their white wigs and long wollen pants. Although both reminisced at how much better looking the painstakingly hand-made laderhosen that their uncle, Kind and Gentle Burt, were.
Six years passed at Lady Iron Morgan Rackham fell deeply and romantically in love with the wonderous and Adonis-like stature of Mad Dog Bonney. Although word around the village and surrounding countryside would have led Lady Iron Morgan Rackham to believe that Mad Dog Bonney was a feared and riotous pirate, she would have nothing of it and wed the man anyway. And so she became Lady Iron Morgan Bonney.
Each of the five Rackham daughters, so distraught over their mothers selfish abandoning of their beloved fathers oath of eternal love, swore that they would never follow in her footsteps. They also vowed to each wed a pirate in retribution for their mothers actions.
